Born to be Wild

I managed to make this card yesterday morning after my small craft box of essentials arrived, of course it was at the bottom of the last box I looked in! I was thrilled to see the rest of my Copics again and some extra images and a handful of embellishments. It was like Christmas, can't wait to unpack the rest of my craft room when the stuff from the boat comes!
This card fits nicely into the Double Dutch challenge which is to go back in time. You can choose any of the previous challenges. I chose challenge 4 which was Pick and Choose, the 3 techniques I chose to use were 4. Distressing 8. Stamping and 9. Punching

Supplies:
Bella image
DP: Basic Grey 'two scoops'
Stamps : Martha Stewart 'swirls'
Embellishments: Tim Holtz chain, metal birthday ribbon slider from Jo-anns, Martha Stewart Leaf punch, flowers unknown make, pearls and gems.
********
This morning we mooched around a number of yard sales and found these two gems. They are going to be perfect for storing little crafty bits and pieces and were only $5 and $2!
This afternoon we ended up at Robert's oddly enough! got some gorgeous papers, some desperately needed cardstock and some other scrumptious bits and pieces. Had to cut the fun shopping short though as we then had to do the boring stuff......pans, cutlery, toaster, crockpot.........endless list.......
Moving into our house tomorrow, can't wait! See you again later in the week!
Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend!

Fab card Deb. And great bargains too. It's slightly different shopping over in that part of the world isn't it. Mind you, just a good selection of shops help, without having to travel for miles to get any eh. Hope you manage to get loads of boring stuff quickly and get some more good shopping done soon.
